I was looking for info on sunrise acoustic pickups & came across this.

Everything you want to know about soundhole pups & more. I like the
2nd last paragraph:

" Experiment - it is the key to progress - in any field. Don't
forget that there are a lot of things you can do to improve the sound
of existing equipment while always keeping things as simple as
possible. Whether it is a mic or a pickup, even the best players do
not always get as good a sound as they certainly should, especially
when we know for certain, and I think have shown, that much better
sound is possible."

*****************

Just realized that article is very old and I have read it before; there are a lot of other choices now if you do a bit of research.

One strong piece of advice - never buy a soundhole pickup that doesn't have adjustable pole pieces unless you just want to do simple strumming stuff.
